Its closer appeared in 1996. The Waialua Sugar Company in the town Waialua was home to one of the largest sugarcane plantations in the state of Hawai'i. With much diversity accumulating overtime in the mid 90's, the demand for high quality local grown products were expanding.

A few crops were selected that have now become a staple on the islands of Hawai'i today. These products included papaya, mango, tropical flowers, and speciality crops such as coffee and cacao. Waialua Estate Coffee and Cacao is dedicated to a healthy vision of nutritional food products continuing diverse agriculture on the North Shore of Oahu.

The traditions in Waialua tell an excellent fishing history with larger fishponds and traditional literature that describes the vast beauty around Waialua [this traditional literature were stories of connections between the ali'i's and 'āina].

Waialua was the center of O'ahu. With its cultivated fields of kalo [taro], it was also considered the 'poi bowl' of the island. The district of Waialua is approximately 78 square miles of fourteen ahupua'a [subdistricts] from Karen to Kawailoa located on the northwest side of O'ahu.

Waia was known to be a very cruel alibi [chief] with a corrupt government. He disregarded his father's instructions which was to pray to the gods and malama [take care] the 'āina and maka'āinana so that the Kingdom itself would succeed.

Since Waia did not give much to the land nor the people who lived there, the place was named after him for him --- Waialua: "doubly disgraced." The word "Waia" means disgraceful behavior, and "Lua" meaning two, second, twice, double.

The place name not only described an important event of Waia himself but had also described the love for the land and the people of the land [aloha 'āina]. For the people of Waialua their duty was to strengthen the land and the people as one a.k.a. lāhui kanaka [nation of Hawaiian descent].

These birthstones had provided a strong support for mothers of ali'i children during childbirth. Kūkaniloko was more than just a ritual site for many. They provided real life direct connections between the people and their land and to those in the afterlife, their kupunas [ancestors].

On this site Kūkaniloko sits directly across from Wai'anae mountain where it resembles a reclining profile of wāhine hāpai [pregant women]. This site was like a school where the ali'i children were taught leadership and the sacred ways of the Hawaiian culture.

This wind is of Mokule'ia which blows on Waialua side moving silently at the cape of Ka'ena Point.

This type of wind was a legend that falls back to the mo'olelo of Lono, the Hawaiian god of fertility and agriculture who was also associated with the winds, clouds, and rain. This wind was passed down to La'amaomao, the Hawaiian wind goddess all the way to her granddaughter, to then the highest chiefs, Keawenuiaumi.

On windless days one of these keepers of this wind could "open" it back up and cause this wind to blow heavy.

A Hinakokea wind mo'olelo:

The wind of Ka'ena turns in two directions,

Hinakokea is of Mokule'ia,

The winds of Waialua blow,

Moving silently at the cape of Ka'ena [Nakuina 1992:51]

The claims that this company has made has been misrepresented. The biochar system has been revealed to not be working as planned or at all. Waste has been stockpiled in barns on the property for over two years.

It is known that the Ali'i's in early childhood had been fed by the kingdoms choices of foods, such that Waialua's loko 'uku'a and loko ea [fishponds] were the selected food choices.
